Streamlining an increasingly dynamic supply chain at some point involves virtually every department in your organization. IntellaPac Pro offers tangible benefits to each of these individual departments and creates synergistic advantages with more effective collaboration.

Corporate Benefits

Cost Reductions with global buying
IntellaPac Pro makes all local specifications visible to the central purchasing department and provides a communication channel to harmonized specifications among all local plants.

Faster Time to Market
IntellaPac Pro substantially speeds up and streamlines communication between departments during product development processes. It minimizes the time needed to administer information, enter it into business information systems, and communicate it to business partners and regulatory authorities.

Manage Product Liability
IntellaPac Pro removes the specter of incorrect, outdated, or unapproved specifications and the resulting potential for financial risk and inefficiency.

Improves Business Process Efficiency
IntellaPac Pro reduces the time spent on administration and communication of product specifications. It avoids wasting energy on correcting communication errors. It focuses on creating agile, high value-added business processes.

Graphics/Advertising
Brings together geographically dispersed departments and external advertising suppliers for more efficient collaboration on packaging design and deployment for both primary and secondary packaging. The real time environment allows decisions to be made quickly; eliminating costly errors, improving control and reducing costs for a significant competitive advantage.

Shipping
Enhances the process for configuring packaging; the system immediately serves a fully developed CAD drawing of the selected structure based on size and material parameters. The IntellaPac system also provides assembly instructions for not for the pallet load but the primary package as well.

Central Purchasing
Vast savings can be achieved by centralizing raw and packaging material purchases. It is essential that the material specifications be harmonized across the enterprise. IntellaPac Pro helps to properly manage that process of harmonization. It offers a clear picture that differentiates what is common and what is specific to customers or geographical regions.

Marketing and Sales

Information exchange
IntellaPac Pro significantly reduces the time needed to gather information and correctly format and communicate it to business partners and regulatory authorities.

e-Commerce
Correct product specifications are essential for successful collaboration in the e-market. New technology allows better integration with back office processes and reduces supply chain transaction costs. The use of private or public Electronic Trade Markets increases buying opportunities. In the consumer packaged goods market, buying is unthinkable without product specifications.

The ease with which IntellaPac Pro makes product specifications available to all e-business applications adds a brand new dimension to your business.

Quality Assurance and QC

Customer and supplier involvement
IntellaPac Pro allows the electronic exchange of specifications with suppliers and customers in Business-to-Business manufacturing. By giving them an active role in the approval process, the time needed to get specification approved is shortened and the risk of working with unapproved or outdated specifications virtually eliminated.

Quality Control
Product specifications contain quality standards, limits and test methods. These values are readily available in LIMS. IntellaPac Pro, when integrated with industry leading LIMS products, greatly enhances the benefits and return on your investment in these systems.. This kind of integration drastically reduces administration costs, avoids errors and makes fast and controlled changes possible.

Reduce Risk
With all product specifications managed by an easily accessible, single application, the risk of using incorrect, outdated, or unapproved specifications is virtually eliminated.

Traceability
Products are constantly subject to change, sometimes a major formula alteration, other times a minor substitution. Regulatory compliance requires an unambiguous relationship between the approved product specification and the actual measurement data on a product lot. IntellaPac Pro version management ensures that each and every specification is available at all times.

Claims
Products targeting special consumer groups often make certain claims such as nutritional benefits, religious adherence (kosher, etc.), GMO, and allergens. With IntellaPac Pro these claims can easily be monitored and submitted for approval.

Plant Mgrs and Supervisors

Integration
In a business climate of constant mergers and acquisitions, it is critical that newly acquired plants are integrated into overall production as quickly as possible. This integration process can be accelerated with electronically available harmonized product and process specifications.

Product Conformity
It is not unusual for the same product to be made at several plants. It is important, however, that consumers perceive uniform quality. IntellaPac Pro ensures that exact product specifications can be communicated easily.

Outsourcing
When products are manufactured by third parties, an essential part of the outsourcing contract is the product specification. With IntellaPac Pro, third party manufacturers have direct access to product specifications and can be actively involved in any change management process.

Corporate IT

Scaleable
IntellaPac Pro offers a scaleable architecture that will suit even global enterprises. This scaleable architecture also allows a phased implementation and rollout.

Integration
When product specifications are subject to decentralized management, individual departments typically use their own, mostly homegrown applications. This usually has a direct, negative impact on the integration cost. IntellaPac Pro covers such issues intrinsically, leading to minimal cost-of-owners.
